I have a couple of teaser cards to show you today....first up is from a set called "Emma Playing Mommy" and I actually only used an accessory from this set as well as the sentiment:I paired up this image and sentiment with the sweet vintage posy elements from Melissa Frances. I love to pair cute images with vintage papers! I stamped the carriage on the label and then again on my X-press it Blending Card paper to color with my copics. I cut it out and pieced it over top of the stamped image on my label.I also airbrushed the corners of my patterned paper to tie in the color from my carriage.The next card feels COMPLETELY different, it is "Fred Bear goes fishing"....I just love Fred Bear....he is so much fun to color! I added texture to his fur using the technique you can find in this video. I paired him up with some fun Cosmo Cricket patterned paper and did a little messy stitching around the edges. There is more to this image, I cut off the fish and pond in order to have him fishing for this cute sentiment that comes with the set. Tied up with twine and a mini paperclip!

See you on release day! I have a cute fabric/stamping project to share!
